My husband and I love to have just appetizers for dinner so the mini sandwich was the perfect thing to make since I could use one of the steaks in the freezer. My husband went nuts over it and said it was the best thing I have ever made for him.—Amy Chase, Vanderhoof, British Columbia

Prep: 30 min. Cook: 15 min.

Yield: 16 Servings

30 15 45

Ingredients

16 slices sourdough baguette (1/2 inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, halved
1-1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1 boneless beef top loin steak (1 inch thick and 10 ounces)
BLUE CHEESE SAUCE:
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons whiskey
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Place baguette slices on an ungreased baking sheet; brush with oil. Broil 3-4 in. from the heat 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Rub toasted sides with garlic halves; set aside.
Place tomatoes in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with vinegar and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 pepper; toss to coat. Bake at 400° for 5-7 minutes or until softened, stirring once.
Sprinkle steak with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook steak for 6-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Remove from the pan and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Add whiskey; cook over medium heat until liquid is evaporated.
Stir in cream. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add blue cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Thinly slice beef; arrange over baguette slices. Top with tomatoes and drizzle with sauce. Yield: 16 servings.

Editor's Note: Top loin steak may be labeled as strip steak, Kansas City steak, New York strip steak, ambassador steak or boneless club steak in your region.
